PURE-DENT?/sup> Pure Corn Starch
A natural, unmodified starch from common dent corn, PURE-DENT?/sup> offers high viscosity and excellent gel strength at an economical price. This clean-flavored corn starch is ideal for basic thickening properties in cooked puddings, sauces, salad dressings, and pet foods.
PURE-GEL?/sup> Stabilized Starches
Compared to other typical cook-up starches, PURE-GEL?/sup> modified starches hydrate easily and impart high viscosity. These starches are designed to provide stable viscosity in the presence of extended heat, acid, and shear conditions.
For processed meat applications, the PURE-GEL?/sup> products provide excellent economic benefits including increased water-holding capacity, moisture management, and improved yields at a reduced hydration temperature. In dairy applications, the PURE-GEL?/sup> starches are utilized to suspend solids, enhance mouthfeel, and provide a stable viscosity in refrigerated conditions.
PURE-GEL?/sup> products are easily hydrated in high-fat sauce systems and provide steam table stability for gravies and sauces. For thermally-processed fruit fillings, the low hot viscosity results in reduced back pressure and better fruit integrity.
PURE-COTE?/sup> Binding/Coating Starches
PURE-COTE?/sup> modified food starches are unique, low-viscosity starches that provide excellent film-forming and adhesive properties. They form clear, flexible films that are fast drying and flavor-free. They function as strong binders for seasonings on snacks and cereals and as smooth, glossy coating agents for confections and baked goods.
INSTANT PURE-COTE?/sup> Modified Food Starches
INSTANT PURE-COTE?/sup> modified starches are new starches designed specifically for producing clear, flexible films without a cook-up step to hydrate the starch. Finished coatings are water soluble, clear, and have good sheen. INSTANT PURE-COTE?/sup> works well in coatings for cereals, nuts, snacks, and confectionery applications. Besides coatings, INSTANT PURE-COTE?/sup> can be used in a variety of food applications where film-forming characteristics are important.
PURE-SET?/sup> Thin-Boiling Starches
PURE-SET?/sup> food starches are modified to provide low viscosity during cooking. This low hot paste viscosity allows high-solids confectionery products to be easily deposited. PURE-SET?/sup> products can be cooked with sweeteners and water to a low moisture content without becoming too viscous. A choice of gel strength and texture also allows for use in other food applications such as cheese products which require strength for grating without loss of integrity. PURE-SET?/sup> products serve as an economical binder for emulsified meat products in a very price-competitive market.
